Hey, when I bought my b16 it came with the entire complete front brake assembly. If I wanted to convert the back to discs, what else would I need? I've got rotors, calipers, brake lines, but I know the arms are different right?

Does it matter that what I have was a front kit? The rotors and calipers are much larger than what the back should be, but that shouldn't matter right?

No, my B16A front clip came with the front braking setup and suspension, well everything from the bumper to the dashboard. So I was asking if I could use the components from this front setup so I would have less to buy. If that's the case all I would need to get is rear teg trailer arms, so my broke ass can afford it.

And MD, slick write up, great quality pics and everything. Nice job. Thanks.

So unless I've missed something, cause I'm not the best reader, I would guess that I shouldn't have a problem with using the front setup. The discs are bigger, but they have the caliper that fits them. So it should bolt up, right?

Oh, and what year/generation integras should I be looking for?

dan (b16asilver) did the write up.. (great job indeed)

you'd need to look for 94+ tegs for the rear
